The sons of Korah wrote this psalm for the music leader.

A prayer for peace[a]

85 Lord, you have blessed your land.
You have made Jacob's descendants strong again.[b]
You forgave your people's sins.
    You took away their guilt.
Selah
You stopped being so angry with them.
    You did not punish them any more.
